  • That’s awesome. My cat has been in and out his whole life, since my wife scooped him up off the streets. I always wanted to try walking him, but he wouldn’t even wear a collar, and so a leash is a pretty obvious no chance. He’s a cool dude and I want to hang out with him, but I’m not sure he feels the same about me.






  • Yeah, if the day started at such a time that I could wake up at 8am, which is when the sky would be lightening up just before sunrise in the dead of winter (if we stayed on DST), that’d be sweet. I am one of the sun in the morning people, but I’d be willing to rethink my position.

    And the worst part is that my jobs generally start at 10am. I’m just surrounded by days that start way earlier. I also have jobs that start at 530, or 630, or 730, and so the evening light was never such a big deal for me.






  • I’m not sure if I agree. They’re pretty shady with all this stuff. My brother’s general counsel at some major candy maker, and for some reason his role at one point included content approvals, and they’re just sneaky. Now I’m interested in confirming if that’s one of their tricks.








  • Yeah, I’ve had this idea of designing a system that my local PD can monitor and enforce traffic violations via camera. I want the local government to have authority over it. I, unfortunately, am unable to do that because I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m definitely on board with it not being in the hands of anyone private. Either that, or a private company that builds the system for a municipality and then cedes control of the devices to the municipality, but hats obviously got some potential issues associated with it.

    And I’m not some angel on the road, but in residential areas I go below the limit. Maybe having kids did it to me, but the thought of running over someone, especially a child, is enough of a reason for me to drive slowly and carefully.

    Now, on the highway, I admittedly go above the limit. But that’s a different story, IMO.
